High-SKU operations introduce a different class of sorting problem. As SKU counts increase, order profiles become less predictable, and traditional sorting methods—based on batching, zoning, or fixed routing—start to break down. Items no longer move in clean, repeatable patterns. Instead, operations require constant reallocation of products across orders, destinations, and supporting DEA (Delivery Expectation Accuracy).
UR cobots manage item-level identification and placement, ensuring each SKU is validated and sorted correctly regardless of variation. MiR AMRs manage the movement of totes, carts, and containers across the facility, dynamically routing them based on real-time demand rather than fixed zones.
This allows sorting to adapt continuously as SKU mix and order demand change—without reconfiguration or manual intervention.
